CONSTIPATION FOR BERKELEY ~BE SENTENCED Workmen of Oakland Transit Company Begin Operations Upon the New Branch Lines —— FIRST SHOVELFUL TURN Force Employed on Extension of University - Avenue Line at West and East Termini Berkeley Office San Francisco Call, 2148 Center Street, Feb. 10. Cars of the Oakland Transit Company will soon be tracing their way through College avenue, along a route that has long been projected by that street railway corporation. The first shovel- ful of earth for the nmew line was turned to-day at the corner of Tele- graph and Alcatraz avenues, where the Alcatraz avenue branch meets the main line on Telegraph avenue. Work will be rushed on this extension and in two months it will be ready for traffic. The route to be followed runs through Alcatraz_avenue to College avenue, along College avenue to Bancroft way, along Bancroft way to Telegraph ave- nue, connecting at that point again with the Telegraph avenue line. 1t is the intention to run the cars that now traverse the Alcatraz avenue line be- tween Telegraph avenue and Lorin sta- sion, thus providing a cross-town feed- er for the Oakland Transit’s main lines and the Key Route ferry system. The new line will tap a populous residence district, the occupants of which now have to walk a mile to reach the cars. The Oakland Transit Company is at the same time operating on the two ends of the University avenue line. In West Berkeley a force of men is ex- tending the line from San Pablo avenue in East Berkeley another branch at University and Shattuck avenues. When these two improvements are completed cars will be run through University avenue from the bay to the terminus on Eu- clid avenue. e e STUDENTS HAZE THEIR OWN ADVERTISEMENT Import “Majah Waters” From Oak- land and Then Worry Him Until He Takes to His Heels.

This after- noon the “‘sophs” surrounded him and escorted him around the grounds. Occasionally the “Majah” would lose a piece of his clothes or be sent sprawling on the sward. He was jos- tled about so much that he even lost some of his teeth. It became so strenuous for the advertisement after | a while that he decided to leave for | Oakland. The “Majah” protested as he went that he had seen enough of higher education. : o e . v ee— CITIZENS OF ALAMFEDA FORM IMPROVEMENT CLUB | Prominent Residents of Island City | Elect Officers of Advancement Assoclation.

W. A. McKowen, late secretary of the board of regents of the University of California, was taken from the County Jail to-day and gave his testi- mony in a foreclosure suit brought by the regents against W. A. Knowles. It was for this purpose that Judge Hall refused to pronounce sentence against McKowen two weeks ago. To- day McKowen explained the accounts and his testimony is now completed and he will probably be sentenced Friday. The land in question covers an area of nearly fifty acres, which Knowles bought from the regents for $50,000. He still owes $26,398 37 on it, but in the meantime has subdivided it and sold it off in lots.

Magdalena Fella, 18 years old, an operative at the California Cotton Mills, committed suicide to-day by swallowing carbolic acid in the base- ment of her home, 660 Madison street. The body, with an empty vial marked “poison’ near it, was found this even- ing by Lizzie Fella, 16 years old, a sis- ter of the dead girl. A lovers’ quarrel was the cause of the suicide, according to the sister’s ex- planation to Deputy Coroner Henry Quellen. Miss Fella had been keeping company for some time with John An- derson, a painter, residing at Twenty- second street and San Pablo ave- nue. Anderson called Sunday night at the Fella home and the young woman went to the theater with her friend, returning late that night. Last night Anderson was at the house and the pair went out. When the girl re- turned home she was crying and told her sister that she had quarreled with Anderson, and did not care to see him any more, As usual, Miss Fella took her iunch basket this morning and left the house, apparently to go to work. Instead of following her customary route to the local train at Seventh and Oak streets, the girl went into the basement so quietly that she attracted no one’s at- tention. There she arranged herself on a pile of stove wood and drank the vial of caustic fluid. he body was cold in death when the sister found it. Three times has the Coroner been called to the Fella home. The first death there that demanded the official’s attention was that of Charles Fella, the father, who died August 14, 1900, from ptomaine poisoning. The trouble was traced to bad fish eaten by the man. Next came Charles Fella Jr., who died October 17, 1901, from Injuries sus- tained by being struck by a Southern Pacific Company’s train. The third case is that of the despondent girl who ended her life to-day. Besides a sister the decedent is sur- vived by her mother. Coroner Mehrmann will hold an in- quest to-morrow.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.—The major portion of the time of the Senate, in executive session to-day, was devoted to a speech by McCumber, who sup- ported the Panama canal treaty and justified all the acts of the administra- tion in connection with the recent re- volt. Senator Daniel spoke in opposition to the ratification of the treaty. He was answered by Senator Fairbanks and Senator Spooner. Daniel’s remarks were on the highest plane. He did not criticize the administration for any- thing which had occurred on the isth- mus, but advised that the Government accept the Nicaragua route, which is the only one to which title can be had without national dishonor.

John C. Applewhite, who was granted a divorce from Edith L. Applewhite in Oregon a few years ago, flled a suit yesterday to determine to whom shall belong the custody of their one child, no disposition of the child having been made in the divorce decree. He says he is perfectly willing to allow the little one to remain in the custody of its mother and to pay the cost of its main- tenance, but wants it understood that he does not forfeit any of a father's rights by consenting that the child shall remain with the motjer.
